NoClone Enterprise 2007

I've been having lots of problems with storage space on my PC of late (i.e. I haven't got any). So, when I got the chance to try out NoClone Enterprise I was hopeful that I would recover some valuable megabytes - and I wasn't disappointed.

NoClone is designed to search your hard drive for any duplicate files that may be lurking on it. Often the main culprits are MP3 files, images, or temporary Internet files, all of which are mightily tricky to spot if you try and look for them manually.

This app does a wonderful job of weaseling them out though, and the process was a lot quicker and more painless than I imagined it would be. You just need to choose which disk, drive or directory to search. Alternatively, you can set the program to scan your Outlook folder for any duplicate mails or attachments you've got stored. The scan is then performed pretty quickly, giving you a list of all the duplicate files and an option to ditch them if you want. You can export the search results to several formats (XML, CSV or XLS), though strangely there's no support for TXT, HTML or DOC.

What I love about NoClone is the sheer number of variables you can apply to your searches. For instance, you can choose to only scan for large duplicate files (over 1Mb), zero-size files or just MP3s. With the ability to customize your searches and save search sessions, this is one intuitive app.

This Enterprise version of the program contains support for network drives, making ideal for companies with lots of users who upload and share the same files all the time.

If you're looking to clear some space on your hard drive, NoClone Enterprise provides a fast and effective way to do so by finding duplicate files on both your hard drive and local network.
